By-The-Wind-Sailor Jellyfish

Description and Comments

While walking along the Mediterranean coast in Trapani, Sicily I came across this beautiful looking "creature" floating with jelly fish. There was also a lot of "garbage" floating around. I am from Coastal New England USA but I have never seen this type of Jellyfish before. Some had washed up on the rocks but most were just floating about.
